About me:

I became interested in 3d graphics in the late 80's from reading articles in magazines about CG. Shortly thereafter, I began exploring various 3d software applications. I cut my teeth on 3D applications like Amorphium, Bryce, and Blender. Eventually, I worked my way towards 3dsmax. I adopted 3dsmax because I found that I enjoyed the workflow that it provided.

During the mid 90's, I had a job installing building automation software (software that controls lighting, heating/air, security, etc.). I began implementing my own custom 3D graphics (floor plans, equipment drawings, etc.) into my installations.

As time passed, I started receiving requests to add my graphics to other sites. Eventually, this led to a fulltime job creating graphics for various automation system software packages.

From there to today: Currently, I am working as a freelance artist. I've worked on various types of projects. A lot of which I can't discuss due to NDA's. Even though some projects prove to be more difficult than others, I still find them all to be enjoyable.

CG Education: CG education seems to be a never-ending process for me. For the most part, I am self-taught when it comes to CG. However, a lot of helpful people on forums like CGtalk.com also played a major role in my learning process.

Today, I try to pay that courtesy back by being active on various forums and helping this great, tight-knit community however and whenever I can.
